speedometer thingy

[Bbandit]

i dont know if this has been mentioned before.. but i keep on asking myself everytime i looked at my speedometer.. why only 110mph? i know it doesnt really matter and im sure the car can go beyond that number pretty easy... but still.. why 110? im sure you guys feel the same when you look at the speedometer for the first time...
is there any gauge clusters that fit into 240sx that have over 110mph readings?

the s14 has it over 110.  but i don't think the s14 gauge will fit.

i would just get a digital one...  but i keep telling myself, i do NOT need to exceed 115 (fuel cut off),  115 is fast enough for me.

i perffer being controled... instead of tryin to see how far i can push my car...  but that's me, i'm turning 19 in 6hrs...

yea i get your point.. its not like im going to drive over 110 all the time..  i guess i have an "eye pleasuring" problems..  or maybe im being a bit ricey.. i will be more relaxed to see 140mph on my speedometer.. digital speedometer.. hmmm.. imagona get one of thoze..
happy birthday meowth.. i know its still 6 hours away but i want to be the first to say it..
me? 4 more months till im 21... yea <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Yeah, it would be nice to see 140, becasue I am sure my s13 can do that if it didn't have fuel cutoff. I think Nissan we confused when they gave us this car (KA engine fuel cutoff, wierd, speedo, etc), but whatever...
That bad part is when some guy that knows nothing about cars but tries to act like he does is looking at your car.
I always get "Dude, this thing looks so fast! But why does it only do 110?"
"That is a speedometer, besides the fuel cut off, it has no bearing on what the car is capable of."
Then they usually give a blank stare.

yea thats exactly what i meant... my fellow integra buddies always say 'man you sell your car just to get this 240sx that only has 110 in its speedometer?' and until now i cant find a good answer for that... but yea whatever..

I have just a quick comment/Question. Have you ever thought about installing a fuel cut defencer OR FCD? It is a small square box with three wires Which hook into your ECU (it will have instructions) all it does is when your ECU hit its limit and sends the fuel cut message it relays the message as being done. It is very simple to install but you must check you air/fuel ratio after doing this mod to ensure it was done correctly. If you lean out you know what will happen {*POP*} Detonation.

Actually, I know for a fact that it could. I had a friend with a chipped 89 that he got going 140.

here's a come back for you, "i got a driveshaft!"

I would not do that just for the sake of going faster. It might mess something up or you could be right and it will work perfectly. The Fuel cut Defencer is just $40 and it is a matter of crabbing three wires to your ecu. All I can say is if it works then Fukit. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
